Note: Retroviruses contain only RNA. Excerpt: Endogenous retroviruses are part of a larger class of genetic material, called transposable elements, that were and often still are dismissed as genetic junk that does little more than take up space in the genome. Studies like this one are slowly changing this assessment. “This brings a completely new perspective on what transposable elements can generate,” Guffanti says. My comment: In his 1999 and 2003 science fiction novels, Greg Bear provided us with his prescient perspective on the role of RNA-mediated events in cell type differentiation via transgenerational epigenetic inheritance. A human endogenous retrovirus led to the development of more intelligent humans who communicated with pheromones. All experimental evidence of biologically-based cause and effect now links the immune systems of species from microbes to man from nutrient-dependent RNA-directed DNA methylation and RNA-mediated amino acid substitutions to cell type differentiation and pheromone-controlled biodiversity. However, many people have been taught to believe there are no human pheromones. Instead, they are taught to believe that mutations somehow lead to the increasing organismal complexity manifested in morphological phenotypes and behavioral phenotypes associated with the increasing complexity of the human brain. Simply put, most people have been taught not to believe in prescient science fiction and not to believe in experimentally established scientific facts. It appears that most of them enjoy believing in the pseudoscientific nonsense about mutations and biodiversity that is touted by evolutionary theorists.
